Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Cambridge, MA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Cambridge can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.

A psychiatrist is a mental health professional, who is also a licensed medical doctor. They’re able to help people manage the symptoms of their mental health conditions, with helpful medication. To be more specific, those who suffer from depression, insomnia, and anxiety—to name a few items on an extensive list—can find value in taking medication.
If you’ve been given a diagnosis of a mental health condition, then it’s important to receive the right form of treatment. Similarly, if you haven’t yet been given a diagnosis, it’s important that you work with a mental health professional to analyze your symptoms and determine what mental health condition you might be dealing with. In either case, a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Thriveworks Cambridge can prove helpful. They can help to offer a diagnosis as well as a treatment plan, which might involve medication.
Medication management is important because it helps to ensure that individuals take their medication correctly; managing one’s mental health condition properly relies on this. Also, medication management is important when an individual needs to increase or decrease their dosage. Doing so without a professional’s advisement can have harmful effects on one’s health. Therefore, if you need to work with a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner in regards to prescription medication, be sure to:
